John H. Richardson: "When you're interviewing Alex Jones, the CIA tends to come up a lot. Not just the usual Bay of Pigs/Kennedy assassination/overthrow of Mossadegh, but also exotic stuff like the LSD experiments and the postwar weltanschauungof the Dulles brothers. Eventually I have to turn off the digital recorder and tell him my father was CIA."

Chris Jones: "Now there's public wondering, verging on debate, whether Baby Cambridge will be carved up by druids, his foreskin ground with a mortar and pestle and scattered into a north wind at Stonehenge, under the light of a full moon. All I would dare tell William and Kate is that their beautiful boy deserves to go through his blessed life exactly the way they've made him. Let his royal penis keep its crown."

A.J. Jacobs: "Bad grammar makes me nauseous. Because of the sheer enormity of the Internet, there are millions of people who could care less about their elicit use of our language. Its a travesty. In other words, I know where you speak of. I fill your pain."

Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt: "I'd tell my 16-year-old self: You're fcking fat and stupid. You're a lot fatter than you think you are. Also: Be careful. And also: You're gonna go away for a little bit of time, but it is going to be over. And home does exist. So just remember that."

Nate Hopper: "At the same tantric workshop, an exercise was touted that included looking into the eyes of one's partner and asking, 'What are you afraid I'm going to see?' This, we learned the hard way, works less well in an office environment."

Stephen Marche: "Apart from being the world's most boring drug to read about, Adderall is also the definitive corporate drug, allowing its consumers to focus without distraction. It is the perfect suit drug. The Russians have a saying: 'He works like an American.' The mania for Adderall is the ultimate proof of the correctness of that expression."
